Barbara "Jane" (Larson) Greer, 85, of Walker, Minn., passed away Saturday, April 17, 2021, at May Creek in Walker. In a log cabin, on a cold December day in Whipholt, Minn., a lovely baby girl was born, and her parents, Katheryn and Oscar Larson, named her Barbara Jane.
While deciding what to do with her life, she caught sight of a tall, handsome young man who drove a red '52 Ford convertible, and she learned that his name was Jack Greer, and that he came to Walker on weekends to visit his dad. It didn't take long for Jack to notice Jane and by November 1953, they were married and living in Minneapolis. Jack passed away of heart failure in 1961, leaving an enormous hole in her heart, but she found solace in her children, family and friends. Eventually, she realized she had to go to work and would juggle the raising of four children and a job for many years. She retired in 1998, having worked in the mobile home business for 50 years; most of those years were alongside her good friend, Al Shrader of The Schrader Co.
